Welcome to our first episode! In this segment we discuss growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, and how the classic movies and television of that time shaped our impression of the U.S. military. Over the course of this series, we will discuss the aspects of military life and wartime service that Hollywood gets right as well as what it misses. Although film and TV can never replace or match training, mentorship, and self-study, great movies and shows provide a common starting point for discussing the enduring challenges of leadership and soldiering. Thanks for tuning in, and let us know your thoughts and where YOU’D like to see this series go by leaving us a comment.
